- This is MTV recorded in the fall of 1983. I had to pull all the videos out, but everything else it there, from the commercials, promotions, and that famous lift-off at the top of the hour.

RIP MTV 1981-1999. Gone at 18, too soon.
2000 gave us Jackass, but that's about as far as they went.
Actually, I’d have to say the best years were ‘81-‘89. The 90s and beyond have been pure crap musically, if you ask me!
It died for me at the beginning of the 90s.
@@lorireece1930 clearly you haven't heard of the black crowes
Lori Reece
Agreed Lori! 1981-1989 After they got rid of the real brick set and started using those green screened backdrops, it was NEVER the same!
You have no IDEA how wonderful it is to watch an MTV episode without ever hearing the words Kanye, Kardashian, Perry, Gaga, Bieber, Beyonce, Teen Mom & Jersey shore, followed by someone trying to make us believe just how AWESOME they all are and we should care about them. These videos are amazing and thanks soooo freaking much for sharing this! Great music videos+ REAL music news (not gossip!!!)+classic commercials =PERFECTION!!! Thanks again!
Yeah... MTV had something GREAT back then... now MTV is CRAP! MTV is a huge POS station/company or whatever the F it is!... But it most definitely is not Music Television today!
sex drugs and rock kill us slowly , it doesnt happen overnight
You're very welcome - I'm glad you enjoyed :)
wait so you think MTV doesn't have enough music (valid) but yet you dont wanna hear about kanye, lady gaga, bieber, katy perry or beyonce?? i know this is a hella old comment but they ARE pretty much the madonna/whitney/mark wahlberg/tina turner etc of the current day. (no particular association btw)
Thank thank you very true👍my friend
I would be SO happy if MTV would put out a channel that's dedicated to playing the old broadcasts just as they were. Or even just a website with everything uploaded. So many memories for so many people and there would be a chance for those of us who missed the early years to enjoy it. It's upsetting to me that so little of it is actually available.
Missy Minx - that’s not going to happen. they’ve buried all of this with new management. Same management as Bet, the change in what aired is evident of that time. vh1 and mtv have warped into Bet. Vh1 would still air behind the music in the 2000s but no more since. No luck unfortunately.
They wouldn't dare do that, because it would show a comparison of how fun they used to be, and what a bunch of depressing SJW'S they have become!
Missy Minx they did have it was called vh1 classic and they showed all classic videos and had a show that came on at 11pm every night called metal mania and showed classic metal videos and they changed it to mtv classic and there ain’t shit on that channel now
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! It would be SO fun and cool to see footage of old MTV, heck the commercials of the time would be great to watch
@@noemistephanie93 MTV still has all this stuff but they dont wanna give shows for free to CZcams id pay like $10 to watch old mtv stuff
The crazy part is I remember these commercials and segments....but can't tell you what I did 10 minutes ago.
dolphinbuc short term memory always goes first e.g. Centenarians can recall their first kiss. Plus - those Madison Avenue Men don’t get paid millions for nothing.
And lay off the pot
dolphinbuc Same. 🤓
I have the same problem. Remember all kinds of old shit, but cant remember why i went into the kitchen
@@teflonmagnet So changing careers in your 40s is probably a bad idea? 😀
I remember watching MTV for up to four hours straight--commercials and all--in the summers of '83 and '84. Watching this brings it all back to me, exactly the way it was.
😎 Totally Awesome 😎
Same here. I was in 10th grade, and it seemed that everyone in school was watching MTV back then.
@Eda It was a GREAT time to be alive! We first got cable in January 1982 and MTV came with it and I watched it constantly. CNN actually did straight news 24/7 and no opinion shows. MTV was a great channel then. Stranger Things was terrific. That DEFINITELY brought back a lot of 80s memories. They did an amazing job re-creating the 80s.
The good old days when MTV was really MTV
Times when music was made by musicians, not African-Americans with computers.
IMHO why mention race? That comment is a bit racist bud.
@@TheTimsGuitar computerized music actually started with Europeans,anyway .
Music and art should be colorblind but some people are racist idiots .I enjoy music ( mainly pre 2000s) from across the spectrum .Black and white artists 👍
Timothy Muller how is that racist?? Most popular music today is black rappers using auto tune not racist if it’s tru
Bridgette Machuca can u shut the fuck up using “😏👌” in every comment you type doesn’t mean ur reply is right and doesn’t make you cool
The commercials are so awesome. I never thought I'd hear myself say that. I miss the 80s
if you wacht this at night with the lights off in your room in silence.your imagination will fly in a second to those years.you will feel like if it is today.
the eye in the sky love that :)
Nice discovery
Now in 2021, I’d settle for 2016 when you wrote this!!!
What a great time to be alive, I was 7yrs old in 1980 and 17yrs old in 1990, I love everything about the 80s, music, movies, video games, hair styles and fashion wear, cool 80s tech, people were better too, we've lost a lot over the years, I guess that's why I keep looking back, I miss those times 😢
Have you tried looking ahead though? Make your remaining years count!
We are the same age. In the 80’s days were longer and I remember just always looking ahead. Anything was possible in the future.
Now, I find myself looking back and remembering when all was possible. I don’t feel that way any more.
@@1hansety1 That's dangerous though. Looking back is what makes your life blur ahead of you. I'm in my 30s, trust me I feel regret too. But you need to take a *hard check* about what you want to accomplish, and grind it out.
After that, concern yourself with learning new things and gong to new places. *THAT* will keep your mindset forever young. Go monk for now. I hope that helps you. 👍
How old were you in 2000? I’m looking for a pattern here.
Ain’t nothing like the 80s
I WANT MY MTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The way it used to be!!!!
I want it too. But even if it was full of music programming it would suck, because music nowadays is not as good as it used to be. They would put Ariana Grande, Bieber, Nicki Minaj on heavy rotation, which is what they do on MTV Europe. They should air old footage and old music.
As a Londoner living in so cal, I was always asked to say, I want my MTV.
I want MY MTV!
So do I.
I was a senior in high school in 1983 and very few people actually got MTV. I'd guess 1 in 10 of my friends actually had cable.
I'm lucky, I guess. I was in a small Alabama city and had cable with MTV, HBO, Cinemax, USA Network and more. The cable service in a larger city didn't have MTV, so it was all hit and miss regardless of the size of a place.
Tenth Dimension I graduated in 83 and used to come home for lunch to watch MTV. Good times.
@@ourtravelingzoo3740 Schools use to let people leave for lunch? I graduated in '94 and leaving campus was a big no no.
My brother(who's 13 years older than me) also watched this at age 6. Lol
Me too
What a time capsule! Its funny to hear the VJ say 'New Music ' when these songs are 35 years old now.
This is spectacular! In 1983 I was 21, in college and dating a guy who looked just like Billy Squier. Damn it-I want my MTV! (Would not complain if someone gave me back my 1983 skin & body, too! Lol)
This is AWESOME! Getting all the cool bumpers, commercials and commentary w/samples of what songs were played in between. Gawd I remember these days. What a great time to be a teenage music nut!
What the hell has happened to television? All of this ignorant stuff on T.V. This was incredible programming. The clothes, the hair, the music. Such a sexy decade. What an era!
This was before the digital television and a wide-spread use of internet. Maybe that's why.
No road map. Keep it simple have fun and they made it all work.
Started watching MTV early 1982 Moved my stereo to the living room. Hooked the cable box to it and slapped on a ten inch reel of tape and hit record on the songs I liked. Parents thought I was nuts! Ahh memories of high school back in the day! Wish there was a channel that would show videos from back then.
1983. I was 14 and MTV was not part of our town's cable package yet. I was (and still am) a huge Genesis fan and I remember begging my aunt, who lived a few town's over and had MTV, to tape the Saturday night concert for me. She agreed. I still have it on VHS to this day.
Wow you should keep that tape
That’s awesome. My aunt did the same but for 9 hours of “Tales from the Crypt”
Good gawd! After watching this I am homesick for the 80s! Yes! I want my MTV...back!
It's 2019 watching shit from 1983 who feels old
I'm 16 and watching it, I wish I could have experienced this!
I miss the early years of mtv.i grew up in the 80's and remember when it first started.they had that game show in the 80's called remote control but mtv was about the music and now it's trash
@@marhsallkristoff same. 80's is the best decade imo
I'm currently 15 y/o while watching this aka the exact same age my mom was in 1983. She's 51 now
@@marhsallkristoff lmaoo same in 16 and i just randomly thought...what if they had a recording of MTV so i looked it up...im jealous that 80s teens got to live through this :(
MTV was truly magical back then, started off every day with it as it played in the background as I got ready for school. And while the music videos can still be watched here on youtube, as time has progressed I forgot about many of the ad's and commercials which aired back in those days, but as I watched many of the jingles from said ad's brought back wonderful memories. Thank you for posting as it was like climbing into a time machine and going back to 1983.
I would actually consider watching commercials if MTV returned in it's original format.
VTV I dont mind ads as any channel thats not the BBc is run on ads
VTV me too! Isn't it funny I can watch old commercials happily but watch in disgust today? They were more fun back then
No you wouldn’t. This upload is so palatable because it’s OUR youth! Who the hell would want to watch the music that’s out now...WITH OR WITHOUT commercials?!! We’re getting old and this is like a little time machine back to a special, innocent, simpler era that disappeared like tears in the rain.
Me too
Sign me up!!!
Remember racing home from school to watch mtv.
1983 was the year I got to have MTV every day at home. Before that, in 1982, I could only watch it at my grandparents or when visiting my dad (parents had just divorced). In 1983 I moved in with my dad and got to watch MTV every day! What a great year it was for MTV and the music industry in general!
I was 13-14 years old in 83. Every day after school my buddy and I would go watch MTV at his half-brother's house where his mom would pick him up. Man it seemed so new and fresh! Such a great year for music whether you were into rock, hard rock, metal, punk or New Wave. I remember being really impressed with this one kid who would draw MTV logos with crazy colors and patterns all day in class. MTV stayed pretty great until some time in the 90s when the videos starting to look all the same overproduced look and they kept putting in more and more non-music material. Granted, some of them were great like Beavis and Butthead or Remote Control.
would give anything to go back to 1983...i can barely stand things in 2019
Good old days. I was 20 yrs old then and just got married in May. We bought our 1st VHS VCR, but we didn't have cable, so I would haul it over to my parent's home just to spend an afternoon taping songs I liked.
@Yardbirds 68 But I wanted a VCR. Taping songs was just part of the fun. And I still never bought cable to this day.
The halcyon days..this was my childhood. Everything was new and exciting on MTV, and introduced me to a whole new world of music. Such a great time.
I was 26 in 1981, married to my second husband for 2 months (divorced him in '91) when MTV first broadcast (we bought a little box with the programming; it was channel 61). Those days were truly magical.
Happy 43rd birthday, MTV. Thanks for 18 years of good music. Too bad the other 25 years have been unmatchable.
This was when MTV was good.
i wasn’t even alive in the 80s or 90s but i’d rather be there than in this generation
Leila Sloan Same, although being a kid in the early 2000s was pretty okay
Oh don't worry kid it'll be over soon because western civilization is about to end
Who doesn’t
I was around in the 90s but missed the 80s
@@StandWatie1862 yeah it is lol we've reached a critical mass of bullshit
I think I'll make a call to my cable staion, today and get me that fine lean and lightweight stereo sound system for my TV...
It would be interesting to hear from Jim Canfield, Kathy Gerace and Skip Guthrie in 2022 and their recollections from winning those contests back in 1983!
"Coty Wild Musk.... Use it before you stalk" this company would be torn to pieces in 2019. Lmmfao.
🤣
that's because social mores have evolved since then. the what about ''Medicine Mike'' vs the bicycle?
I was in my Freshman year of college & I watch MTV every single day💙 I was hooked on MTV from 1982 to 1992. Rap & reality shows ruined it for me😬
This was recorded the first week of November 1983 (he said Billy Idol‘s new album rebel yell would be released next week it was released on November 10, 1983). I was a Freshman in college.
Same here, seems like a thousand years ago …
Clean, plain English, how pleasurable to listen the speech of this guy for hours without getting tired.
Thanks for uploading this!!! You put me in a Great mood! The highlights for me were the:
1. Classic "Coming up this hour"
2. The identity
3. The Old West Hubba Bubba Commercial that I haven't seen since I was six.
4. The Hall and Oates Rock and Soul Commercial
5. Overall: A reminder at how COOL MTV "WAS."
I meant idents for #2. I hate automatic typing. It annoys and embarrasses me.
I was in middle school when MTV started. My father refuse to get cable. I could only see MTV at my bestie’s home. We would spend hours just watching video after videos. It was absolute Gen-X magic.
I had MTV on 24/7 back when it was fresh and new. The 80s wouldn't be The same without Mtv.
What a great time to be entering adulthood 1982. The 70s were so stale. Pretentious rock bands and then Disco. In the 70s You had to wear your clothes a certain way everyone had to have their hair a certain way. When the 80s started it was like I could breathe. It was okay to have fuschia hair. The bands were weird. Their sound was new and different. And they were not taking themselves too seriously. Everything was so new and different. Video games went from pong to more sophisticated. The home computer was right around the corner. And the future looked so bright you had to wear shades😎🕶
There was a new musical Trend every 3 months and it just kept changing. Until about 1987. Compact discs were new then laserdiscs. And suddenly cable TV was everywhere with a hundred channels.📺📀💿📼
And VCR tapes readily available so you can watch whatever you wanted when you wanted. The technology was so exciting. What a great time to be a young man🎶🎵🎸
@The Cawd Squad they were awesome at the time and my point is they just got old. I just downloaded Boston's first album. Just a treat hearing that for the first time in years from beginning to end
What’s weird is that the commercials actually feel like parodies of actual 1983 commercials, when they’re the real thing 😂
I was in Daytona Beach for spring break in 1986. This was the first time MTV was doing live broadcasts from spring break. I was a broadcast major at the time so I spent my days watch the crew at work as well as Martha Quinn. Before she went on one afternoon I said "hello" to her and she "hi there" back to me. She was my favorite MTV VJ.
Back when music television was fun and everybody wasn't bickering with each other about everything.
I enjoy my life now. I've travelled around the world, I've seen and done many incredible things. I'm extraordinarily lucky. But if I could go back to those days, back to when MTV started, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I was broke, undecided about what I wanted to do, had a car, an old Buick convertible, a cute girlfriend and some real good buddies. We spent our time dreaming about what we were going to do in the future, where we were going to go. We hung out, practiced using nanchuks in the backyard like a bunch of idiots, played Atari in the basement and watched MTV - or at least had it on in the background. We partied, drove around, explored and went to beach. I can't think of a single time we argued about anything, and certainly not about the current president, or anything political for that matter. We didn't argue about what foods we should eat, or what words we shouldn't say so as not to offend anyone. We just lived our lives and enjoyed ourselves, together as pals. We were in it for the fun. And we had tons of it.
I find today to be too angry, too depressing and everyone so preoccupied with being politically correct, and monitoring others' behavior like some sort of social thought police, it's sickening. When they're not doing that they're head down into their smartphones, so absorbed with their digital lives, they've forgotten how to actually live. Back when MTV started, music was awesome, different, very creative and no two bands or singers sounded a like. Today, they all sound so similar, do the same dance moves, all trying to be Hip Hop without being Hip Hop. Sad, really. Sure, there's great music being produced, but you have to hunt for it, unlike back in the 80s, it was the mainstream music. Alternative New Wave with the second British Invasion which included Punk, was now mainstream. It was on the radio, it was on MTV... all the time. Amazing, really, when you think about it. Every band, every singer was fun to watch.
We thought it would last forever, but it lasted a mere decade. When the 90s hit, the mood changed, music was getting angry, Hip Hop was taking over and the fun was gone. The culture reflected that. Some people like to say that the music only represents what's happening in the culture. Well, I think that's backwards. Music influences people like nothing else, more than school, more than parents, more than movies or reading or anything.
Now, back to work on my time machine in the garage. ;)
While I vivdly remember being glued to my family room carpet for hours on end devouring MTV videos - I remember equally with great fondness some of these commercials. God, they take me back! And make me feel so old! The Coty musk ad in particulary was a particular favorite. I thought it was both campy and ridiculous but titilating at the same time! HA HA HA! Seriously, this was solid, classic cable TV and I still long for the days when MUSIC TELEVISION was truly MUSIC TELEVISION.
The BEST MTV era.
That was the good old days. I miss those days.... brings back good memories..
Does anyone remember how pumped up the Thriller video was before it came out? All the hype! I remember sitting with kids my age and all the parents to watch for the first time! It definitely didn't disappoint!!!
Oh, totally. I BEGGED my parents that year to get me the "Making Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'" VHS that was coming out and they finally got it for me for Christmas. lol
Whoever put these up, you need to be sainted at once...
I was 15 in 1983.what a fun decade.
One thing about MTV back in the day was you got a real mix of stuff. You could be into Judas Priest and sit there all day watching Michael Jackson and Rockwell and Madonna and the Ramones and Ultravox and Rick James and The Hooters and Gary Numan and Springsteen waiting to see "You've Got Another Thing Coming". New Wave, punk, pop, metal, it was all there (well, not country if that was your jam). It gave everyone in every clique that one thing in common, we knew each other's music at least a little bit because we all watched MTV. I think that was unique to the '80s thanks to MTV.
Thanks so much for posting this! I was 17 at this time, and even though I didn’t have cable television, my neighbor did and she let me watch mtv at her house! Great memories! 🥰📺
Lol wow sansui rack stereo. Had a Fisher got for Christmas 1984, literally one of the only 2000 CD players brought into the US that first year. The entire rack set cost almost $2500!!! Had it for 10 years. Drove my parents and neighbors crazy. 😁
Fall of 1983 I was still an infant so have no memory of this but I grew up hearing all these songs and am thankful I got to experience MTV when it was still music television
Some people say it died in 1992 when the The real world premiered but I disagree. In my preteen years (93-94) they still played a ton of music videos especially during the day. Then around 5pm would air some shows then late night had beavis and butthead, aeon flux, singled out, headbangers ball and then music videos all night. Weekends I usually avoided MTV as I remember they would just rerun entire seasons of The real world and road rules but at least for the most part MTV was still music. Early 00s was when it started going downhill for me. I wasn't into the jackass stuff, pimp my ride or any of those type of shows. Music videos were far and few in between and it seemed to have lost something besides just the music. Strange to think that theres a generation out there who only know MTV for shows like Jersey shore and 16 and pregnant.
I was an infant in 83 too and have those exact fond memories of MTV from the 80s and 90s. The MTV we knew and loved died at the turn of the millennium when the focus shifted from music to showcasing a lot of cringy reality shows with annoying spoiled rich kids. Glad we at least have these youtube videos to remember when the M in MTV actually stood for music 🎶
My goodness MTV was on at my house from the moment I got up until my mother finally yelled "enough"! Nothing was more heartbreaking then turning on MTV and seeing the last seconds of your favorite video, so yeah, always on.
Back when MTV was worth watching and playing only music videos that were awesome!
Ladies from the 80s were smoking hot. I'm picturing big hair, sexy blue eyelid makeup, aerobics head bands, spandex..........oooooooooo somebody stop me.
That exact description fits many of the hot men from the era too lol. Those were the days!:)
I remember wanting to know who that girl in the Cody cologne commercial at 5:43 was back then, and I still do
@@RageTVHTX did you find her ?
You left out the huge bush they all had too!
Correct me if I’m wrong but some of the guys wore a lot make up (ie, poison,motley cure,etc) & used as hairspray as the women did. The best part, the guys wore TIGHT pants 😂🤣😂🤣.
I was seventh and going to college, the best time of my life,1983 to 1988,god nothing will be the same.
I was working for Motorola then (til Aug. 200, when they moved operations offshore). Yep, it was a great time in my life too. Now life sucks. I thought it would get better, but the world is totally screwed now.
@@janetgriffiths7200 Do not go gentle into that good night
It was a fun exciting time to be a young man
Why the Hell did they mess it up? MTV was great back then.
I can't even wrap my head around how different things were then.
Robert as someone who was there, imagine a world where news was unbiased, celebrities had one job and that was to act and songs were performed by people with talent. No worries about crime and violence, street lights meant get home now. It was a great time and place. People weren’t sissy asses like so many today.
I have all three hours of this. It was posted on the Usenet about 10 years ago and I snagged it. Always fun to put it on and just listen to it in the background while working. Fun times.
+Charles Coverly - Nice! I never saw a third hour - just had the first two from a.b.m. on Usenet. CZcams has taken Part 1 down twice now - surprised this is still here. :)
The entire 3 hours is divided into 2 files. Part 1 is 1:25:19, and the 2nd file is 1:39:07. . I wish someone would post more of these chunks of my childhood.
+Charles Coverly Did any of you catch the Star Trek kid at the 5:30 mark? It was Isaac from Children of the Corn.
That kid always creeped me out!
+Charles Coverly That was some pretty good acting of his as Isaac who was suppose to be creepy! Hope that didn't hurt his career too much like the actor who did "Damian"!
I can't stop watching/listening! I miss this so much. I loved real MTV with real MUSIC. MTV came upon us when I was 21!❤❤❤
I showed my kids an old rotary phone from the 80’s and asked them to dial a number. They were perplexed and I laughed.
There is a video on here some where and the kids could not figure out how to dial a phone number, It's pretty funny.
This is back with the brown cable box on top of the tv, and the "clicker"
Funny cause back then I would click off MTV when they would play Every breath you take for the 400th time. Now I wish they would play it one time.
David Lane yeah, that song dominated summer 83’ and they rammed it down your throat on MTV. Little did we know it was their last album together.
#facts
AH! The Brown "Jerrold" Cable box, the one that if you opened it and pulled the little semiconductor out partially, you would get Every Channel all movie channels and PPV events, remember it So Well :)

This makes my stomach hurt with childhood memories..it was glorious..born in '76...raised in the 80's..never really left😊
Rene Brown 1979 here...but I’m right there with you!
This is what I hoped MTV classic would be like.
My my has the time passed...my teens and endless possibilities...thought I would never age.....I remember when MTV was MTV.......that was surely a simpler time....can't go back though.....
Thank you so much for uploading!!! What a piece of history here!! Even without the videos it is great watching the "vee-jaying" & the commercials intact esp. Before cable companies started leaving room for local ads ! Quality is so good!!! Keep them coming !
I miss the 80s and my childhood this video brings out so many memories.
Mtv back then was the shit...Could wait to come home from school to watch it...Now it's garbage..
everything new and innovative is the "shit". the kids are into "shit" these days. I'm probably ur age and I, too, plopped down after school in the early to late 80s to watch MTV but it would hold no relevancy to me now that I'm in my 40s.
sharpasaneraser as a 19 year old guy, I can definitely say that I am not into a lot of “new things”. My friends were amazed that I got apple EarPods haha. Newest vehicle I’ve ever had is an 88 F350, my first motor with fuel injection. Yes you heard that right, at 19, this is my first fuelie truck. All my other cars/trucks were/are carbed. How I wish MTV like this were still on as well as Johnny Carson. The 70s and 80s were probably the best living of the 20th century. Sadly the last 10 years the SJWs and snowflakes are tearing their ugly heads.
This is awesome. Great to see the old promos, commercials and channel IDs in their context.
*Musicland Ad!*
I loved going to Musicland and Record Bar back In the 80s
to catch up on imported 12 inch singles!
1:52 "Call your cable company to schedule a stereo hook up." All you needed was a splitter and a few feet of coax cable. If you knew what you were doing, adding the FM feed from your cable service to your stereo was easy. Cable systems were slow to add true stereo TV service aft the FCC green lighted stereo MTS TV service in spring 1984.
That was my first cable hack.
@@jctoad Before there was stereo vcr's a took the mono output and split it to get sound to both stereo speakers, and yes the mtv stereo hack was easy to figure out. Just hook the cable to the antenna input and scan the fm dial for the signal.
I should've been born 10yrs earlier, to have fully appreciated this.
(was 2 going on 3, around this time).
I miss my MTV
You can feel how happy these artists were back then because listening and buying music was so much more fun back then. Nowadays it's a disaster. File sharing and all the record stores are closed but a handful.
These commercials are fun to watch now, but at the time it was like listening to the radio and waiting to hear music. I like the nostalgia and watching all of this, and sitting through it allowed me to experience new music I would like, but now I'm just fine being able to pick out the songs I want to hear and whenever.
I miss these days.
We will never pass this way again. The MTV we knew is long gone. I can still remember waiting for my grandparents to pick me and my sister up to stay with them for a week or two in the summer...I'd just finished watching Bow Wow Wow's "Do You Really Wanna Hold Me"...then Duran Duran's "Is There Something I Should Know" their car pulls into the driveway we grab our bags while Donald Fagen's "New Frontier" begins to play...click...my sis turns off the TV...I can still hear it now.
Wow, that cologne commercial for his and hers was pretty titillating for the time.
Down right salacious.🔥
That chick was really hot
Yeah... MTV had actual HOSTS.. hosting all day and all night to talk and guide you through all the goings on in the Music Artists scene! Was the best!!! Today... you have to go manually find the updates yourself by following your favorite group on twit shit ...
Except thr segments were all prerecorded as time went on for efficiency.
The VJs were fun knew alot, interview all the legends a pretty cool job of knowledge and around music did a mean job all of them
17 years old and jealous of every single adult in this comment section that got to experience this daily. I’ve had a good childhood too, disneychannel, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network… but god damn y’all were so lucky having actually good MTV
Whoa, I just found this video. I was only 15 when this aired
Ah, the good old days. 💜
Make MTV great again
That was great, took me way back....when MTV was still cOoL!🎵🎸🎼🎸🎶🎸💥🥁🎼🎸💥🎊🎈🍾🎉☝️
What has MTV become??? It's nice to have a mom who has grown up in the 70s and 80s, I get to hear good music because of her. MTV back then is amazing I wish I was born in the 80s to experience it.
I am forever in your debt sir, Deal of the Century is an awesome movie and I wouldn't have known it existed without watching this
Ahhh. Yes. Back when MTV wasnt the reality/drama. Thank you for this.
This is just wonderful. Thank you for showing us what things were like in these early, wonderful days.
It was such a good time to be alive! I miss those years and the music.
Wow, I'm looking forward to that Billy Idol album! Rebel Yell is an awesome title! I'll definitely be at the record store the day it comes out.
Damm brings back some good 80' memories!!!!!!! Thanks is part one though
Thanks for uploading this!
I am crying while watching this...
Too bad I can't go back to the beginning of that year knowing what I know now. I wish it were then.
gdcat777 buy lots of Apple shares...
Right there with ya, bud!
Realmente extraño esos tiempos, cuando la música era música de verdad. Hoy no se puede ver MTV por los desastres musicales y diversos reality shows que dan pena.
Some of the best days of my life!! MTV all day long🥰🥰🥰🥰
Best part of my teenage years was just listening to MTV music while getting ready for school every morning.... damn I miss it.
I remember watching MTV waiting to leave for 3rd or 4th grade. “I’ll leave right after this next video…”. Lol. 80’s were the best.
Hey this is my tape! I recorded it while I worked at a satellite store called Stratovision in the Los Angeles area. It was recorded on a brand new Toshiba Beta HiFi recorder. The buzzing noise you hear between segments was the way early Beta HiFi recorded on tape.
That's awesome! I found this on Usenet maybe 20 years ago? Great quality! Are you original Usenet poster?
yes I posted it on Usenet. It was a slimmed down 480x480 video if I rememeber correctly. I still have the original betamax tapes but a broken Beta machine right now. Hoping to get the player fixed one day and re-encode via a Teranex converter to an Atomos Ninja-V, then edit on Resolve.
Edit: I'll ping Obsolete Video and see what they can do.
